Research AgendaResearchClipart

My research agenda is focused along two lines: health informatics (including cybersecurity) and interprofessional education which are interrelated because health informatics is inherently interdisciplinary. These lines are informed by my industry expertise and academic preparation in computer science, adult and professional education, online teaching and learning, and biomedical informatics.
